選MBA學校 - 洛杉磯

Table of Contents

有兩個在我寫"Chapman University"之後寄信問有關於MBA及why我選Chapman...
乾脆就一起發表看大家的感想如何

Of course, GMAT, GPA, Essay, 工作經驗都可以從留學版找,
but我想發表如何找一間是和你的學校:
這篇文章有點針對已在美學生申請MBA....

So,
我覺得第一件事是去學校走走,
看看它們的環境, 學生及教授的interactions, and 工作人員得態度
真的, MBA 在Southern CA除了UCLA and USC, 其他學校在其他地方都不太"出名"尤
其東部. 對他們來說 UCI MBA and UC Riverside 都差不多, 除非真得有心去看排名.

所以重點是你要什麼, 有太多亞洲人擠破頭進TOP 25 MBA programs
但到了Class participation和Networking時都變成啞巴....個人感覺真的
事太浪費那些好學校的資源了! 像我現在教授就有說過一句話: "MBA學生應該多花點
時間在Networking上, 而不是整天想如何拿A. 當大部分MBA的人都至少有B以上的程度,
Networking是取決妳到底有沒有工作的關建"

再來是Top 25 and 小學校的好處及壞處:
Top 25 的教授and學生都是一流, 所以素質高, offer課程也多, alumni的force也很強
但同時競爭壓力也相當大...非常難讓別人信服你and讓你自己standup for rest of
group. 加上如果你neworking能力又沒比別人強, 準備畢業後打包回台吧...
我有一個朋友在UCLA part-time MBA, 他被整個team 排擠因為他工作年齡低(也7年ㄝ!)
別人不服氣他當team leader, 整個team到他自己願意讓位之後才willing跟他交談

小學校ㄋ... 像Chapman, Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount的教授資格其實都相當不錯
但學生overall素質較低, offer課程也沒像UCLA多.
但好處是同學之間願意做study group的意願較高讓大家都越來越好
小學校優點也是能讓你的聲音容易聽見...一些多花的時間and經力能讓自己可能成為
club的社長even MBAA President. 都對你未來就業有幫助

So..."重點是你要什麼"

Top25跟其他列出來學校相比,networkin就沒那麼重要了

getting into top25 and do well is not a easy job
Brianna avatarBrianna2009-11-29

your social skills are important while still at
school.

大部分台灣留學生不像您有身份,如果沒有Top20,還是
留在台灣比較強。不值得花四百萬到美國networking

go to MBA school in Asia.

沒有$70k以上的薪水,就無法讓你四百萬台幣的投資回本

有Top20,就該留在台灣或亞洲,美國MBA不適合你,成功
不會只有留美MBA這一條路
